Node Examples for the PayPal REST API with jquery AJAX

Featuring node jquery

• For Windows, at least Win7-64, it has dependencies that require installing Visual Studio and updating your 2010 C++ redistributables. Maybe 20 minutes, 500 MB. Sooo, if you are on Windows, and want a quicker demo, or you like TJ Holowaychuk's libs, look at this clone using SuperAgent: payper.

See the PayPal API

Install:

• Run the nodejs.org installer.
• Save and extract the zip file and open a terminal there.
• npm install jquery
• npm install -g coffee-script if desired?
• Now if you are on Windows, and it doesn't run right away, follow TooTallNate's instructions.

Run:

node payjaq_test.js or coffee payjaq_test.coffee

coffee -cb payjaq_test.coffee compiles to javascript

Notes:

• To create live test objects, get a dev client id and secret from PayPal.
• Immutable PayPal-hosted objects may have outages, like on 4/4/2013 2:15 PM Pacific, or go away. The error is:
  • Err posting creds
  • get_cred complete status: error
• The tests that try to execute a payment fail CORRECTLY with PAYMENT_STATE_INVALID running static PayPal test objects.
• Note the payment approval step must have been taken by the user for completePayment to succeed.
• Don't forget to redirect to approval_url listed in response links if using the paypal payment method. See a simple example.
• Since this is an example, it uses a single-arg callback.
• Otherwise, it may be a callback per result state, using a common err handler.
